What to expect
Archeological Museum of Local Lore
We will visit the museum off Golden man. Here in 1970, under the leadership of kazakh scientists, a Sak burial was discovered, which later became known as the Issyk burial mounds. In one of them they found the “Golden Man” - the remains of a Sak warrior dressed in golden armor.
We will do trekking to the waterfall around 2 km hiking that is at 1521 meters elevation. Bear Waterfall is easily accessible and beautiful in the Turgen Gorge, and is one of the most visited places by tourists and lovers of mountain trails. The waterfall is named “Bear” because brown bears were found in the Turgen Gorge back in the 1960s[
